We are delighted to introduce Raya Grace and Theodore's first litter at Impressive Cartwright Standards! Our Five Gifts of Grace Litter consists of five beautiful puppies, each named to reflect a special biblical message of God's grace: Grace, Mercy, Titus, Faith, and Hope.

Both Raya and Theodore are smaller Standard Poodles, and this pairing was thoughtfully planned with an emphasis on health, temperament, and structure. Both parents have completed genetic health screening through Embark, along with OFA hip and elbow evaluations.

Expected Adult Size

Raya weighs approximately 25 pounds at maturity, while Theodore weighs approximately 28 pounds. Based on their sizes, we anticipate puppies from this pairing will mature around 25–35 pounds, making them an appealing option for families seeking the intelligence, versatility, and companionship of a Standard Poodle in a smaller package.

Although sometimes described as Moyen-sized, these puppies are part of our AKC Standard Poodle breeding program. The AKC determines Poodle varieties by height rather than weight, with Standards measuring over 15 inches at the shoulder.

Adult size estimates are not guarantees. Individual puppies may mature smaller or larger than anticipated.

Raised With Purpose

From birth, our puppies receive intentional, age-appropriate care and enrichment, including Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS), Early Scent Introduction (ESI), gentle handling, grooming familiarization, and gradual exposure to everyday sights and sounds.

At approximately 7–8 weeks, our puppies undergo independent temperament evaluations to help us understand their individual characteristics and thoughtfully match each puppy with a compatible family.

Our goal is not simply to raise beautiful Poodles, but to give each puppy a strong foundation for a lifetime of companionship.
